Assuming you are getting that measurement at the valve would indicate a strong pilot generator and if the valve still will not open then I would pronounce the gas valve DOA.

To replace the valve cost can vary from $350 to $650 depending on the Contractor due keep in mind that you've replaced the Pilot Generator and now a valve to finsh the job right install a new Pilot Body with the correct orifice and that will round out a reliable system.

Good luck!

What if the pilot on your teledyne laars epg 250 pool heater will not stay lit and you have just replaced the pilot generator?

Check that you are getting voltage from the thermocouple. You should see about 600 millivolts.


What powers the VNS generator?

The VNS generator is powered by a battery that lasts several years. It is replaced during an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia.


If a generator capacitor fails will it no longer produce electricity?

No, a generator capacitor failing will not stop electricity production entirely, but it may result in fluctuations in voltage output or cause the generator to stop functioning properly. It's advisable to have the capacitor replaced to ensure the generator operates efficiently.


Where is the alternator fuse on a 2007 Saturn aura?

The 07 Saturn Aura does not have an alternator fuse, and technically it is a generator not an alternator. There is a large gauge wire from the generator to the starter, this is a fuseable link. Check for 12 vdc at the large terminal of the generator, if is missing check the terminal on the starter. If the starter has 12 vdc and the generator does not, the link is bad and must be replaced. DO NOT REPLACE the link with wire, a fuseable link must be used.

Skoda alternator regulator wiring diagram?

First you have to state the model and MY. Then, most cars have solid state (electronic) regulators on the generator that are normally not serviced but replaced as a unit.


What does a dashpot check valve do and if its bad will it cause your generator to not run right NH5200?

A dashpot check valve controls the flow of fuel in a carburetor. If it is bad, it can cause issues with fuel delivery and negatively impact engine performance, potentially leading to the generator not running properly. It's best to have the dashpot check valve inspected and replaced if necessary to ensure the generator operates smoothly.


How do pacemaker batteries recharge?

First of all a pacemaker is a combination of two parts: the generator which contains the battery and logic, as well as the leads which connect to the heart. The batteries are not 'recharged'. When a pacemaker's battery is nearing the end of it's life (roughly 5-8 years) the patient schedules surgery, where the generator but not the leads are completely replaced. This isn't as drastic as it sounds and not usually as complicated as the initial fitting of a pacemaker. This operation is sometimes colloquially called 'recharging' but in reality the entire generator (battery and all) is replaced with a new one while the old is discarded.


What fossil is being replaced with hydro?

Hmmmm, not sure. It could be coal, oil, or natural gas. But since hydro generates electricity and coal makes heat and electricity, so I think its coal.


What is magnetic generator?

The permanent magnet generator is a synchronous machine where the rotor windings has been replaced with permanent magnets. This eliminates the excitation loses in the rotor, which otherwise typically represent 20-30% of the total generator loses. The reduced losses also give a lower temperature rise in the generator, which means that a smaller and simpler cooling system can be used. The temperature reduction in the rotor also reduces the temperature in the bearings, improving reliability by increasing the lifetime of the bearing and bearing grease.


What is the most likely problem if a 1960 Cadillac charging lamp stays on until 3000rpm?

Sounds like the brushes need to be replaced. Find a shop that can check your regulator, and who can rebuild your generator.


What compact device eventually replaced the electrostatic generators?

The Van de Graaff generator eventually replaced the electrostatic generators as a compact device for producing high voltage. It uses a motorized belt to accumulate electrostatic charge on a hollow metal dome, providing a more reliable and efficient method for generating high voltages.
